Aside: I wrote this haiku after finding dandelions, the first wildflowers I’ve seen this spring. After writing, I discovered in Wikipedia that dandelions have “a fossil record that goes back to glacial and interglacial times in Europe”.

My name is Janice.  I started blogging as Ontheland when I moved from Toronto to a rural area near Kingston, Ontario in Canada.  Over time I have found myself writing poetry, mostly in Japanese forms, such as haiku and haibun.  One of my deepest interests is the natural world: the joy of it and how we can look after it better.

  2. Delightful haiku of these ‘buttons of light’. A wild flower I’ve loved since young, even making up a name for them! Thank you for the fossil history snippet ..fascinating. Happy Weekend, Janice and hope many more wild flowers appear now as we head into middle of May! 😀🌺
